First Time Home Buyers:Demand Green in Asheville
Asheville, NC- May, 2009- The First Time Home Buyer has a good advantage these days. There has always been a place for this special group of buyers, but the $8,000 Tax Creditadds impetus to the mix. As a real estate professional here in Asheville, I have always thought that finding 
a niche that "calls" to you is one of the most important aspects of success in this business.
Whether a property is commercial, residential or LAND/ acreage it is special in one way or another, and so are the clients who seek their first home, those buyers who depend on you for objective fiduciary counsel.
And there are points beyond special. Looking at various market niches... the 1st Time Home Buyer, the Over 55...the Second and Vacation...the Hospitality...all have a certain "zest" that's like the mountain air here in Asheville....
But here is another interesting perspective:
That of the 1st time home buyer in terms of their demand for healthy-built (GREEN) homes.
That demand drives the market and is evident in the resources available to First Time Home Buyers and the number of green-built homes in the affordable price range.
Resources:.
1. Right here in Asheville, 1st Time Home Buyers can turn to the Green Building Council.
2. Ist Time Home Buyers can also turn to Eco Certified® Real Estate Consultants at our Firm, seasoned brokers who have completed a 36-hour course about environmentally-sensitive properties here in Asheville.
3. Researching for First Time Home Buyers, I checked out green-built homes in the $180,000 to $350,000 range the other day. In that range (residential) there are 23 WNC HealthyBuilt Homes on the market this month...
I talked with a young couple earlier this week. They told me, "janeAnne we just have to have a healthier, safer, more comfortable, sustainable, energy efficient, and environmentally-responsible home....
" Here's one we should look at, " I replied. (see photo) "AND there are at least 22 more available!"
Should we chalk that up to the "wisdom of the First Time Home Buyer Generation"?...or is GREEN just red hot?

Hi JaneAnne: I think Green buying has just started and it is a trend that will be around for a long long time.
:)
JaneAnne: KC and I have a great healthy built house out in Reems Creek that is nearing completion within the next 2 weeks. I'd love for you to take a look and show it. You won't be sorry. MLS#439100
